Need help deciding between 2 trucks
I'm looking for a truck for a mountain cruising and hunting rig. I will be used in mud and snow and will be used on atv/utv trails. I am wanting a fuel injected 4 cylinder with a straight axle. Here are the trucks in question.

Let me know what you think and let me know about any possible issues with either of these trucks. I have been looking for a while and these 2 are the best that I have found so far.

I'd stay away from the turbo truck, if what you want is a hunting and mountain rig.
The turbo will give little value in lower speed operation, and some replacement parts are very hard to get.
Personally, I'd buy a $2000 truck and spend the rest of the money making what I want out of it.

Myself I think they are both over priced !!
Only the 85 has the solid front axle
The turbo truck has the I FS
To tell the truth Toyota`s turbo was a dismal failure why it was only around for a few years .
People seem to want them keeping the prices higher because of demand
If you really want a turbo then go for it .
I have 3 the 3.4 blows them away in pure stock form
If your in a position to build your own truck that is the best way you then know just what you have.
Then buying a used vehicle some areas always get neglected and need to be caught up

My own personal opinion: no need for a solid front axle. Look at what the atv and utvs on those trails are using
That should open up more options. Nothing wrong with the solid front axle, but I think that the thought that they're necessary or even preferable for any kind of true rough road use is questionable. They have less moving parts to break, but in general they just give a really really rough ride, and IFS can do most stuff better than a solid front. You just want to be slightly more gentle with them.
I agree that I'd avoid turbo.
